Line 115: As they got closer to the borders of the Inner Sphere the prospect for a true fight increased, and so did the Clans' efforts to face a respectable opponent. The bidding for [[Von Strang's World]] was particularly fierce for two reasons: first because it was defended by a full [[regiment]] of [[BattleMechs]], and second for its association with [[Colonel]] [[Gunthar von Strang]], a butcher who served under the despised [[Stefan Amaris]]. The Jade Falcon Clan won the bidding war to invade the planet and Khan Crichell himself led the attack; to their joy the Jade Falcons discovered that a descendant of the colonel was still in charge of the planet. The defenders put up a fierce fight and the Jade Falcons suffered greater losses than they expected. In the end the defenders were defeated and the young Stephan Von Strang's body was hoisted on a flagpole, below the banners of the Star League and Clan Jade Falcon, from which it hung until finally falling off some time later.<ref name=JFS22/><ref name=JFS23>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 23</ref> As they got closer to the borders of the Inner Sphere the prospect for a true fight increased, and so did the Clans' efforts to face a respectable opponent.
